David Gettis was drafted by Carolina with their 2nd of four sixth
round selections.What Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft said about Gettis:
Gettis, David Baylor 6030 217 4.46
Three-year starter. Big athletic receiver with big hands and long
arms. Long strider. Has down field build up speed. A cradle catcher
that lacks confidence in his hands. Not a nifty quick-footed
receiver. High cut and long legs keep him from dropping his
weight in and out of his breaks. Lacks hip flexibility. Runs more
horizontal spread offense routes than down the field. Will need
work on all his patterns and routes off motion. Lacks the quickness
to be an effective run after catch receiver. Tough
perimeter blocker. Gives effort and is willing to inline crack
block in the run game. A developmental receiver that has several
tools to play on the next level. Over his career he had 116
receptions for 1555 yards, 13.4 average, and 4 touchdowns. OSR:12/
37. Fifth/sixth round. (A-33 1/8, H-10, VJ-34.5, SS-4.42).
